Backcountry Brewing Shark Repellent – American IPA at 7.0% ABV | 30 IBU (C$7.35 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 24-Jul-2025, reviewed 27-Jul-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one finger of loose pale ivory head diminishing gradually to a thin skim and ring, spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains, dank resin. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration finish. (4/5)
The label says Citra and Columbus, and that’s pretty much what I get in the flavour profile. Not a lot more to say here: this ticks all the boxes and drinks pretty easy for a fairly emphatic ABV. I suppose you could score it maybe half a point lower overall if you were in a bad mood, but I’ve been doing yard work and needed a beer. (16/20)
This will be my 6,160th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
